BATH MATCH REACTION

BATH MATCH REACTION

*BS*Chris Kinnear spoke to match reporter Jason Burns following Saturday’s 2-0 win at Crabble against Bath City.*BF*

Whites’ boss praised his side’s spirit and determination in gaining the three points: “We deserved it. We knew they would be disciplined and they had their captain playing in front of the defence. They tried to make it difficult, but the lads stuck at it.”

Commenting on his unbeaten run since taking over as manager for a second time, “The players could easily have been resentful when I came in but they aren’t and they have great spirit. This side will never get down, even if the other team have the ball for a while.”

Dover pay a visit to Maidenhead on Tuesday night with no new injury concerns and Chris is aware of the potential danger ahead: “They have a lot of flair and I expect them to throw people at us, so we will have to deal with that.”

Captain Ian Simpemba will be available for selection on Tuesday before starting a five match suspension, comprising three matches for his red card at Boreham Wood and two matches for receiving 10 yellow cards this season.

Chris, who has probably watched more Dover Athletic matches than any other supporter, said:

“It was very cold and windy, and that was at the start of August! I had to miss a few Dover friendlies to go on this trip, but I was back for the first league game that season.”

*BS*Spain-based fan Graeme Driscoll writes…*BF*

“When I think about football, I think Dover Athletic and *Link2*. I tweet the odd message, usually “COYW!”… all the way from La Coruña in Spain.

“Why the Whites? I come from near Dover… Littlebourne, to be precise, and played for the Youth side when Chris Kinnear was in charge the first time in the early 1990s. No Dover player has scored so many goals having done so little work on the field as I!

“I am amongst those that want their club to offer more than just a trophy. I look for the extras… that the club provide opportunities for local kids, that the club doesn’t lose sight of what it really should be: something for Dover people to be proud of and hold close. I am a White.”
